These crazy Harry Potter illustrations will blow your mind

A Hungarian graphic design student has won the Internet after her class project to create eye-popping illustrations for the Harry Potter books went viral via Reddit.

Kincső Nagy, a 26-year-old student at the University of West Hungary's Institute of Applied Arts in Sopron, designed glow-in-the-dark cover illustrations for J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, as well as page illustrations for the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The incredible images were made through laser cutting, stencilling and special paints, and offer a truly unique interpretation of the blockbuster series.

Nagy posted photos of her designs in September, but last week, a Reddit thread highlighted her work. She was deluged by a "huge amount" of messages, she told The
Telegraph in an interview.

"I was really surprised how many people liked my Harry Potter redesign."
